A victory in the Iron Bowl is always a welcome outcome. The Tide beat Auburn by a two-score margin.
Milroe had a three-touchdown game on the ground with 104 net yards. Jamarion Miller had 84 net rushing yards, and Haynes chipped in with a touchdown run.
Bernard had his best game of the season with seven catches for 111 yards.
One of the real positive trends in this game is that Milroe was targeting the tight ends more than he has in the past. If you go back and analyze past Sunday Hangover posts over the years, one consistent complaint I have had was that the Tide offense needs to pass to tight ends more often.
They did in this game with a total of 8 catches: 3 to Dippre, 3 to Cuevas, and 2 to Ouzts. And if I remember right, there was a pass each to Dippre and Cuevas that could have been touchdowns if they brought in the passes.
The defense gave up some yards but foiled the Tigers when they had their chances. I was worried because Lawson is out for the rest of the season, but I think Jefferson did a fine job as the defensive play caller.
And Jihaad Campbell showed why he's likely to be a first-round pick. He led the team with 9 total tackles in the game.
Next up is the great unknown because the likelihood of Alabama making the 12-team playoff is low.
